This is my favorite chicken rollatini, packed with herbed ricotta cheese and proscuitto. It’s a showstopper for sure!

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place chicken cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap and use a meat tenderizer to pound them into an even thickness (about 1/4-inch is a good goal). It’s okay if there are a few holes. They don’t have to be perfect. Repeat with all chicken cutlets.
3. In a small bowl, melt butter and stir in lemon juice. Add breadcrumbs to a second bowl.
4. Dip the chicken cutlets in the melted butter and then coat well with breadcrumbs. Lay breaded chicken cutlets on a plate and repeat with all of them.
5. Stir together ricotta, herbs, and lemon zest. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Working with one chicken cutlet at a time, place a slice of proscuitto on the chicken and then add about two tablespoons of ricotta filling. Then roll the chicken into a tight cylinder and place the chicken, seam-side down, in a baking dish. Repeat with all the chicken cutlets.
   NOTE: You can prep the recipe in advance up to this point if you would like.
7. Bake the chicken rollatini at 350 degrees F. for 30-35 minutes. You should definitely use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. in the center of each roll.
8. Serve rollatini whole or slice and serve!
